Barceló Cappadocia 

Contemporary charm in ancient landscapes

This recently built hotel has an inviting sense of place as well as welcome facilities for travellers of all ages.

Opened in summer 2024, the Barcelo Cappadocia is a spacious, family-friendly retreat that blends modern indulgences with local character. When you’re not lounging by one of the two pools, you could be blissed out in the marbled-lined hammam or admiring the otherworldly scenery from the panoramic terrace, and there are crowd-pleasing regional dishes in the restaurants and bars. Set in a quieter corner of Cappadocia but within easy reach of the hotspots of Ürgüp and Göreme, it will appeal to anyone looking to mix up in-depth exploration with restorative downtime.

Why we love Barceló Cappadocia

  • After a day of sightseeing, you can chill out in a pair of swimming pools or savour a traditional hammam experience.

  • Thanks to the 24-hour dining options, late breakfasts and midnight snacks are firmly on the menu.

  • The panoramic roof terrace is perfect for hot-air balloon watching at dawn or sunset gazing in the early evening.

  • It may be a new hotel, but the guest rooms are far from bland, with details such as carved stone bedheads creating an authentic feel.
